Examining the challenges of rhetoric over substance.
Certain elected Democrats across the US – and particularly in Washinton, DC – are fond of speaking about various things and people being a threat to democracy. As the 2024 general election looms on the horizon, however, it is worth examining whether these fearmongers are themselves posing just such a threat as they strive to deny American voters their right to choose who will reside in the White House come January 2025.
It is difficult to know for sure whether Democrat powerbrokers are earnestly thinking about replacing Joe Biden as their 2024 nominee. In the left-wing media there seems to be a growing sentiment that the party should find a way to put up someone else to face the likely Republican candidate, former President Donald Trump. Especially in social media, theories are swirling that Mr. Biden will be pushed aside at the party’s national convention in August – after he has officially secured the requisite number of delegates.
SNIP:
“One could argue that the Democratic Party has the right to handle its own primary process however it sees fit, but there is yet another factor worthy of note. The Atlantic, on February 23, put forward a hypothetical scenario that could plunge the nation into a constitutional crisis – and perhaps worse.
Should the eventual Republican nominee – most likely Trump at this point – win enough Electoral College votes (270) to claim the Oval Office, and should the Democrats gain a majority in the House of Representatives, the unthinkable is being given some thought. While it appears to be a long-shot prospect, Trump’s political opponents across the aisle are at least chewing over the idea of refusing to certify the Electoral College vote tally on January 6, 2025.”

The establishment side of the democrat party is a big threat to our democracy. Coming up with loads of BS court cases in heavily liberal states to bankrupt a presidential candidate whom half the country voted for to be their president in last 2 elections. Also jailing people like Peter Navarro who tried to protect our jobs from China.
Non-stop saturation coverage by corporate MSM owned by billionaires like Bezos and Microsoft attacking him daily with biased distorted propaganda is also not the right way of working in a democracy. We must take our democracy back by sending a strong message to the globalist establishment in November.
Seems like to some “Democracy” means guaranteeing “Democrats” are elected even if the People want somebody else.
They won’t have a majority in the house so they can just suck on it.
Left me address the power decision makers on the left:
We all have the internet now. Your lying and propaganda no longer works. Even with the political activists that are 99% of all media, academia and entertainment.
It’s over.
Try a new approach like doing the right thing for the country and the people. It’ll take generations to gain back their trust so start now.
“If Biden were replaced by someone who didn’t even officially run for president, the narrative around threats to democracy would collapse.”
This might matter with independents but it matters not one bit to Democrat voters.
Just as long as they get their free stuff it doesn’t matter.
Their idea of “democracy” is the former German Democratic Republic.

With Donald Trump closing in on the Republican presidential nomination, the Dem-leaning media is saying that they will not cover Trump's campaign, his speeches, whatever. The Dems are outraged that SCOTUS denied them the privilege of removing their political opponent from state ballots - AND they are pledging to work around that SCOTUS ruling. They are indicating a determination to run a mentally impaired octogenarian as their candidate for president and anyone opposing their plans, their Dept of Justice will seek prosecution on any preposterous grounds.
Their own primaries have been run like elections in North Korea for at least since 2016 - no allowable opposition, not one dissenting word. They are holding political prisoners charged with January 06, 2021 violations AND by some reports abusing those prisoners with various tortures - with almost no media coverage.
The 2024 Demo'Rat Party is indicating NO intention to follow normal rules and traditional practices and being mum about their intentions to accept legal limitations or court rulings. They are showing no concerns about public (voters) opinion to their out-of-bounds practices: open borders, destructive spending ➡ inflation; they are depending on their obedient media to blame Republicans for any unpopular spending and enforcement programs, including taking government benefits away from citizens and giving them to invading marauders.
Are the 'Rats preparing us for civil war❓ a repeat of their politics of 1861🤔
...and is the traditional Republican Party reverting back to the Whigs from which they emerged❓
“ Trump’s political opponents across the aisle are at least chewing over the idea of refusing to certify the Electoral College vote tally on January 6, 2025.”
Congress doesn’t “certify” anything.
Well put!
“ Trump’s political opponents across the aisle are at least chewing over the idea of refusing to certify the Electoral College vote tally on January 6, 2025.”
Where do you see anything in the Constitution about Congress “certifying” electoral college votes as a requirement for the winner to take office on January 20?
“ strive to deny American voters their right to choose who will reside in the White House come January 2025.”
There is no such right?
“ Now they threaten to close the Supreme Court, seize the Congress, eliminate the Electoral College, rule by executive order - while ignoring court rulings ... i.e.: suppress the Constitution👈❗”
They have that perfect right under the foundational document of the nation - but so do we, and it’s well not to forget that, since we may very well need to use it.

Well, you have set a confusing conundrum... I can't agree that the Uniparty has the right to suspend Constitutional provisions such as 'balance of powers' {SCOTUS}, representational govt via the 'Electoral College', 'We the People' via a representative Congress, especially the House {'executive orders'}... ...
But you raise a good point; those ARE NOT the issues that we discuss❗ We discuss the Hunter 'laptop from H3ll', the criminality of one major POTUS candidate due to 'lawfare', the mental sharpness of a doddering old octogenarian...
Meantime we steadily approach a third world war, a test of territorial sovereignty via open borders, a test of individual sovereignty via an increasing police state, a test of national sovereignty via treaties not Congressionally signed... etc., etc., etc.

If I shake you awake in the middle of the night and ask you what you are fighting for, after you reach for your gun, what do you tell me?
Do not get distracted by shiney things.
Our independence from Great Britain is based on one thing only:
“That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness”
That is the manifesto of our People. It is both anterior and superior to the Constitution, which organized powers in 1788 that, at the time, “seemed most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness”.
It’s a mistake to fetishize the Constitution. All I pointed out is that the system created by te Constitution has failed, because THEY can get you to live under it, while YOU cannot make them do the same.
Every thinking American must answer “Are you safe? Are you happy?”, and if you answer “no” to them, as the Democrats do when contemplating a GOP victory, the logical conclusion is that they are prepared to pick up the warrant granted in 1776 and do some altering or abolishing.
Are we?
